# Advanced Image API

## What is the Advanced Image API?

Our Advanced Image API offers a comprehensive suite of functions to issuers, both those that are using our Designer Tool and those that have developed their own solution, enabling them to achieve a number of additional functions via API call:

* **Image API:** Retrieve digital previews of card designs in the required format to be displayed by the issuer, for example in the mobile app or email communications.
* **Card Design Purge API:** Purges the image associated to a specific `CardImageID` as requested by the issuer, used for example when addressing a GDPR request to delete end-user content.

These functions are described in more detail in this section.
